Black & blue

I know a man who fills his emptiness
With strangers
I know a girl who drinks herself to sleep at night
You can´t change her
I know people who use chat rooms as confessionals
I know down and outs who once were,
Once they were professionals
Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don´t roll your eyes, my sweet
I know a single mother who loses her mind
On weekends
She pleads with lady luck on scratch cards with money lent to her
By old friends
I know people who take midnight drives for head space
I know what they´d give for just one loving embrace
Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don´t roll your eyes, my sweet
We´re just the same
We all get desperate sometimes
Feeling black and blue
I know you´ll find it hard to accept it sometimes
We all feel black and we feel blue
Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don´t roll your eyes, my sweet
I know a rich man who has everything you could wish for
But children
I know an old lady who talks a lot but could teach you
If you listen
I know people who believe in gods and demons
I know ones who think there´s nothing there at all
Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don´t roll your eyes, my sweet
We´re just the same
We all get desperate sometimes
Feeling black and blue
I know you´ll find it hard to accept it sometimes
We all feel black and we feel blue
Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don´t roll your eyes, my sweet
Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don´t roll your eyes, my sweet.
